Kinetic Art #1
Parametrichouse: In this kinetic art we are taking a look at the Kirigami as an example for the mechanism section. Kirigami (切り紙) is a variation of origami that includes cutting of the paper, rather than solely folding the paper as is the case with origami, but typically does not use glue. In the United States, [...]
Biomimicry Examples #2
Parametrichouse: In this biomimicry example we are taking a look at the Kingfisher Bird as an example for the bimimicry section. High-speed passenger trains in Japan were once a real headache, because their engineering caused a "tunnel boom," a huge boom created by air being pushed out of the tunnel ahead of a train. But [...]
Biomimicry Examples #1
In this Biomimicry example we are taking a look at the Nacre Structure as an example for the Biomimicry section. Research, funded in part by the Danish Council for Independent Research Technology and Production Sciences, takes inspiration from oyster and abalone shells for stronger materials. A combination of algorithm-based design and multilateral 3D printing is used [...]

Biomimicry Architecture #3
Parametrichouse: The Esplanade theater and commercial district in Singapore by DP Architects and Michael Wilford host an elaborate skin inspired by the Durian plant. The external shading system is also responsive in that the triangular louvers adjust during the day to the suns angle and position. “A secondary sun shading lattice is used with folded [...]
Kinetic Architecture #1
Parametrichouse: Completed in June 2012, the 145-meter towers’ Masharabiya shading system was developed by the computational design team at Aedas. Using a parametric description for the geometry of the actuated facade panels, the team was able to simulate their operation in response to sun exposure and changing incidence angles during the different days of the [...]
3D Printing Ideas #2
In this 3D Printing Idea we are taking a look at Algorithmic Modeling Cakes by Dinara Kasko. Ukrainian pastry artist Dinara Kasko creates incredible-looking edible cakes that are inspired by geometry, architecture, sculpture, and technology. For a 2017 ‘ruby chocolate’ event in Shanghai, she made an 81 piece ruby chocolate cake using the Grasshopper graphical [...]
Installation Art #2
Parametrichouse: In this Installation art & Mechanism example we are taking a look at the Brixel Mirror from BREAKFAST. Brixel Mirror is a 18 foot wide by 6 foot-tall installation made up of 540 Brixels, black on one side and mirrored on the other. Brixel Mirror is the first installation built by BREAKFAST to utilize [...]
3D Printing Ideas #1
Parametrichouse: In this 3D Printing Idea we are taking a look at the Maker's Muse project. They used Structure Synth to 3D Print incredibly detailed code driven patterns on Prusa i3 Mk2 3D Printer - It's tonnes of fun! More Info
Biomimicry Architecture #2
Parametrichouse: In this biomimicry architecture project we are taking a look at the Eastgate Centre as an example for Biomimicry. The Eastgate Centre is a shopping center and office building located in Harare, Zimbabwe. Rather than using a traditional fuel-based air-conditioning system to regulate temperature within the building, the Eastgate Centre is designed to exploit [...]
Installation art #1
Parametrichouse: In this Installation art & Mechanism example we take a look at the Solstice , the Kinetic Clock .Created by London-based design studio Animaro, Solstice is a clock that turns the passing of time into a moving artwork. It gradually changes shape throughout the day, opening and closing like a flower. Solstice is the [...]
Biomimicry Architecture #1
Parametrichouse: In this biomimicry architecture project we are taking a look at the ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2016-2017 as an example for Biomimicry. The team studied how the larvae spin silk "hammocks" that stretch between a leaves to develop key principles for long-span -fibrous construction.Mimicking with the moth's webs, the resulting pavilion features a bending-active substructure [...]
Lasercut Wavy Lampshade
Here is a video about Cutting and assembly of a laser cut wooden lampshade.
Laser Origami
LaserOrigami is a rapid prototyping system that produces 3D objects using a laser cutter. LaserOrigami is substantially faster than traditional 3D fabrication techniques such as 3D printing and unlike traditional laser cutting the resulting 3D objects require no manual assembly.
DIY Laser Cut CandleHolder
In this video you can watch the fabrication process of DIY laser cut birch wood candle holder
LaserCut Icosahedron Lampshade
In this laser cut design video you can watch Cutting and assembling the Icosahedron Lampshade. Material: 1/8″ Baltic Birch IKEA SEKOND Cord Set
3D Optical Illusions
Human eyes could be easier to trick than you might think. A Japanese professor, Kokichi Sugihara, created sculptures that trick the mind to see the impossible. He was the winner of the Best Illusion of the Year Contest in 2010 and 2nd place in 2016.
The Waffle
This lampshade with a notched “waffle” structural system brings the distinctive quality of light in your space. The parametric processes being used to design a unique object with interlocking 40 laser cut ribs.
Aguaviva Side Table
Aguaviva is the third piece in David’s Strata range which uses multiple layers to create a sense of movement. This piece is made up of a total of 93 pieces of solid wood which are carefully joined together to produce this dynamic sculptural side table.
Grille Partition Screen
Grille Partition Screen&Wood Carved Partition for screen or ceiling of interior decoration. Grille partition screen, as perforated interior element, is very classic and enjoyed by many clients.
Laser Cut Pendant Lamp
How to make a star pendant lamp from a small piece of 1/4-in-thick plywood. The team from HomeMadeModern used a Full Spectrum Laser cutter to create this star pendant lamp. First, the concentric star pattern was cut by the laser. Then the star shapes were stacked and glued together, offsetting the points of the stars, to create dimension.
Lasercut Grid Chair
Denzil Makes made this chair for the Rockler Plywood challenge, others make similar chairs using a CNC router, but never a laser cutter. As it laser cuts better than other plywood designer used Baltic Birch which comes in 60” x 60” sheets this means he used slightly more than one sheet of plywood.
Wooden Bowl Decor
Check out the amazing accuracy of this laser cutting a wood bowl.
Twisted Lampshade 01
This parametric design made from Baltic Birch Plywood. the bumps form a helix pattern around the lampshade.
Twisted Lasercut Lampshade
This Pendant lamp is in a triangular shape on bottom and top and each corner is incrementally rotated to give a lampshade both a curved and twisted outline. Depending on the angle you look at the lamp, it will give all different experience.
Parametric Office Chair
Oleg Tyrnov designed this wooden office chair with the help of parametric modelling techniques considering the principles of ergonomics in order to create a beautiful, unique and innovative product which is really comfortable too.
Coffee Bean Table
Inspired by the coffee bean’s natural geometry, this beautifully crafted table is made of CNC-cut Mahogany slats, showing its distinctive brown tones, making its close resemblance to the coffee seed even more direct
